"But I got smarter, I got harder in the nick of timeHoney, I rose up from the dead, I do it all the timeI've got a list of names and yours is in red, underlinedI check it once, then I check it twice (oh)"

1. Don't pick up the phone - You know he's only calling 'cause he's drunk and alone.2. Don't let him in - You have to kick him out again.3. Don't be his friend - You know you're gonna wake up in his bed in the morning.And if you're under him, you ain't gettin' over him. ♥

Did anyone else catch the whole 60/40 split conversation? It sounded like she wanted to do the race, picked him because she didn't have time to look for a partner and he was there and then still demanded 60%. Just gives me the sense that the relationship is not really balanced. No relationship is 50/50 all the time, but both partners need to give more than they take from time to time.

I don't see how they were robbed. I know the edit may have made it look like they were closer than they were, but they didn't fall victim to a bad cab, flight problems or anything else that was really beyond their control. You can't blame Jason and Amy for not wanting to help them in the final legs. It was good strategy to work with Travis and Nicole because by that point they probably knew that they could beat them over Leo and Jamal. So it makes sense that they wouldn't assist the one other team that had a strong chance of beating them in the end. Not to mention, why should Jason and Amy help them after the whole cab thing?

Anyways, I love them. At the beginning I didn't think they would be such a good team, and saw Tim as a bit strange, with Marie taking the weight of the team. But as the Race went on, you just see they fit 100%, with him following her jokes, and trying to be as fun as they can be. Marie's one liners are the best in a long while. They do deserve another shot, and not some threepeaters...

Did anyone notice that she faked an attempt to push Tim off the boat in Alaska?

In the 3 legs leading up to the finale, Tim and Marie got off to a bad start, and still managed to overcome big deficits to finish 1st or 2nd. Too bad that didn't happen on the last leg. I think their edit has improved tremendously in the final few legs. If Tim and Marie had known they would eventually get a good edit, maybe they would have considered joining TAR24?

And is Marie the first person on TAR with a known nickname that wasn't mentioned at all during the show?
